EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken from James Grant's renowned book "Cassells Illustrated History of India Vol. I. ", offers a fascinating glimpse into the tumultuous era of 19th century colonialism in Asia. The image captures a scene of alarm and panic as a group of horsemen, led by a fearless rider atop an elephant adorned with an intricately designed howdah, find themselves startled by an unknown force.

Through his skillful brushstrokes or pen strokes rather - Grant has created an enduring piece that continues to captivate audiences today. With its historical significance and artistic brilliance, "The Rout at Eroor" remains an invaluable
